Development Update: CHA Celebrates Two Major Milestones at Ogden Commons

CHA leaders joined Mayor Johnson, The Habitat Company, Mount Sinai and the Illinois Housing Development Authority this month in North Lawndale to celebrate two Ogden Commons milestones: the grand opening of Phase A1 (92 units) and the groundbreaking of A2 (75 units). Together these two phases will add 167 new apartments, including 140 subsidized or affordable homes. 

"For CHA, this is just the beginning," said CHA CEO Tracey Scott. "Last year, we delivered more than 1,000 new apartments around the city. And this year, more than 1,000 apartments are currently under construction or have already been delivered. One of those developments – Grace Manor – is just down the street. This means hundreds of new homes for families from CHA’s waitlists, giving more people the security and stability of long-term affordable housing."
